BOCA RATON, Fla. (UPI>-
The Oakland Raiders have it all
figured out how they’re gonna
beat the Green Bay Packers.
They’re gonna kill ’em with
kindness.
They’re not gonna make the
same foolish mistake the
Kansas City Chiefs did before
last year’s Super Bowl game.
They’re not gonna get the
Packers mad by crowing all
about what they’re fixing to do
to ’’em like the Chiefs did a
year ago. The Oakland Raiders
don’t do thing like that.
"We’re just humble felas
trying to make a living, that’s
all,” says Ben Davidson,
Oakland’s defensive end.
Nobody argues much with
Ben Davidson. Nobody makes
‘oo many jokes about the
nandlebar moustache he wears,
•lther. Maybe, just maybe, the
fact that he’s six feet eight and
weighs 280 pounds has a littleto
do with it.
Davidson Typical
Ben Davidson is like all the
rest of the Raiders. He has
nothing but good to say about
the Packers despite the fact
they sent him on his way after
he put in one season with them
in 1961.
"I don’t bear them any
animosity for that,” says
Davidson. “We all have the
greatest respect for the Green
Bay Packers. Anyone who
doesn’t would have to be nuts,
like the Kansas City Chiefs
were last year.
"They made a lotta state-
ments about what they were
gonna do to the Packers in the
Super Bowl. Fred Williason
said he was gonna put the
hammer on ’em and there were
other things said too. We don’t
have anyone who talks like that
on our team.”
Big Ben Davidson is no
dummy.
He can take care of himself
and tells you right out he’s not
afraid of the Packers, but
what’s the point in getting them
more fired up than absolutely
necessary?
"I’ll tell ya,” confesses Ben
Davidson, “I don’t want Vince
Lombardi’s wrath on me. I’ve
been there.”
Basically because of his
physical dimensions, Ben David-
son plays the game of football
exactly the way you’d expect.
Hard.
He doesn’t have the agility
that Deacon Jones showed in
helping Los Angeles demolish
Cleveland in Sunday’s Playoff
Bowl game here but if you
watched Jones make himself at
home in the Browns’ backfield,
then it gives you an idea of how
Ben Davidson works.

Colleges
Consider
Playoffs
NEW YORK (UPI)-College
football’s proposed version of a
Super Bowl game has the
support of the coaching fraterni-
ty but the plan to determine a
national champion still faces
opposition from bowl promoters
and school administrators.
A special committee of the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association met for the first
time Monday to consider the
possibility of conducting a
playoff series to determine a
national champion.
Paul Brechler, Denver, com-
mittee chairman, said his group
would tackle the feasibility
study with a "positive, open-
minded approach.”
Hold First Meeting
Brechler’s group was given
the responsibility of investigat-
ing the proposed playoff series
last summer and Monday’s
session held in conjunction with
the NCAA’s 62nd annual conven-
tion was the first meeting held.
Even if the proposal got the
go-ahead from the NCAA, the
first college super bowl wouldn’t
be played until late 1969 or New
Year’s Day 1970.
The post-season playoff se-
ries, round table discussions on
the amateur sports dispute
involving the NCAA and
Amateur Athletic Union and
evaluaton of the 1.6 legislation
highlighted the opening session
of the convention which has
attracted 3,000 coaches and
administrators from 600 mem-
ber schools.
Marcus L Plant, University
of Michigan, the NCAA pres-
ident, said at the round table
discussion he was disappointed
over failure of a specially
appointed sports arbitration
board to reach a workable
solution to the AAU-NCAA feud.
Threatens Court Action
Meanwhile, Rev. Wilfred H.
Crowley, president of the United
States Track and Field Federa-
tion, an arm of the NCAA, told
a news conference his organiza-
tion would go to court, if
necessary, to restrain the AAU
from suspending athletes com-
peting in federation events.
He charged the AAU was
violating federal Sherman anti-
trust laws by enacting restric-
tive legislation designed to
enforce a monopoly.
Brechler said the American
Football Coaches Association
was in favor of the proposed
playoffs. He said his committee
will attempt to formulate a
workable plan, present it at a
future meeting of the commit-
tee then make a recommenda-
tion to the NCAA.
The NCAA would tnen consi-
der the matter at its convention
a year from now, and if all
obstacles were overcome, the
playoff system would windup
the 1969 season.

Buffs Upset
By Missouri
By United Press International
An upset and a near upset
were the story in Big Eight
basketball action Monday night
The fact that the Packers put as two favored teams ran into
away the Chiefs, 35-10, in the strife away from home.
Los Angeles Coliseum a year Missouri, behind center Gene
ago hasn’t given Davidson or Jones’ 30 points, romped over
any of the other Raider players favored Colorado 86 - 66 in
an inferiority complex.
"I think we have a stronger
team than the Chiefs had last
year,” says the huge Oakland
end. "We have a better offense
and defense. I think our corners
are stronger and our safeties
are at least as good as theirs.”
Namath Injured
Word has circulated around
the AFL from time to time that
Ben Davidson plays a little too
rough.
Columbia, and conference favor-
ite Kansas needed a free throw
with no time remaining on the
clock to squeak by Iowa State
68-67 in Ames.
The Tigers raised their con-
ference record to 1-1 and mov-
ed to 5-8 overall in the win over
the Buffs who fell to 0-2 and
6-7.
Colorado hit 93 per cent of
its free throws during the first
half to trail the Tigers by only
_ six. However, Missouri jumped
to a 48-37 edge in the first four
minutes of the final period and
quickly put the game on ice.
Kansas had to fight an Iowa
State lead all night before gain-
ing a 67-65 lead with eight sec-
onds remaining. The Cyclone’s
Don Smith then hit two free
throws to set up Bruce Sloan’s
winning point for the Jayhawks.
Jo Jo White led Kansas with
21 points and Rodger Bohnen-
stiehl added 17 as the Jay-
haws moved to 2-0 in confer-
ence action and 10-3 overall.
Iowa State is now 1-1 and 5-7.
In conference games Tues-
day, Nebraska (0-1) visits Kan-
sas State (1-0) and Oklahoma
State (0-1) invades Oklahoma
(1-0).
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
(UPI)—The time for talking is
over and the Green Bay
Packers and Oakland Raiders
closed the gates to their
practice fields today and went
to work on their plans for
settling the second Super Bowl
game.
The only visible gremlin was
the flu bug of Oakland’s Daryle
Lamonica, but Coach John
Rauch hilly expected his
quarterback to work out with
the team and be ready for the
Sunday game in Miami’s
Orange Bowl.
Both teams planned hard
practices today and Wednesday,
the 14-points favored Packers
at the New York Yankees
spring training grounds here
and the Raiders 15 miles north
at a boys prep school in Boca
Raton. The workouts of both
teams will be closed from now
on.
Lamonica rested in his room
Monday when the Raiders put
on their uniforms in the
afternoon for press pictures and
interviews. He had the flu
before the team left California
Sunday to fly to Florida, but the
team arrived reporting the bug
was whipped.
Rauch said Laonica had "a
helluva fine workout” with the
Raiders in their first loosening
up drill Monday morning. "This
afternoon he decided to rest. He
didn’t get much sleep last night.
He’s perfectly all right.”
There were no other new
physical problems for either
team and Lamonica’s opposite
for Green Bay, Bart Starr, was
reported by Coach Vince
Lombardi to be in “the best
condition he’s been in since he
was hurt.”
The wahoo, a streamlined
relative of the tuna, is reputed
to be the fastest fish in the
ocean, capable of speeds of
more than 48 miles per hour,

Board Work,
Defense Key
To Kentucky
By GARY KALE
UPI Sports Writer
Kentucky predictably fash-
ioned a winning combination
this season because of two oid
chestnuts Coach Adolph Rupp
drew out of mothballs— defense
and rebounding.
The Wildcats, ranked fourth
on the strength of a 9-1 record,
forged a pitiful 13-13 record for
a Rupp-coached team in 1966-67.
Between seasons the Baron of
the Blue Grass country stressed
board strength and a sliding
defense geared to fight off any
quick move the opposition threw
against Kentucky.
Against Alabama Monday
night, Kentucky concentrated
early on controlling the boards,
but sacrificed accuracy in its
anxiety to shoot and retrieve.
The Wildcats began meshing in
the second half and dominated
all phases of the game as they
trounced the Crimson Tide 84-76
in a Southeastern Conference
game at Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Fast-Breaking Scoring
Phil Argento, a backcourtman
busy breaking up Alabama
sorties in the opening 20
minutes, engineered another
Rupp favorite of old, the fast-
break, in the second half.
Argento hit for the key basket
on numerous occaions as he
netted 23 points in the second
half. The Wildcats clawed their
way to success with some
astounding shooting after inter-
mission, hitting on 21 of 29 field
goal attempts for a phenomenal
72.4 percentage.
Kentucky was led by Argen-
to’s game-high 24 points. Mike
Nordholz paced Alabama with
21 points.
Fifth-ranked Tennessee won
the battle of the Volunteer state
by edging No. 6 Vanderbilt 64-62
at Knoxville.
Bill Justus, with 22 points,
and Tom Boerwinkle, 18,
supplied the heavy artillery as
Tennessee won its eighth game
in nine outings this season.
Maravich Leads Scoring
Pete Maravich, the nation’s
leading scorer, had another of
his hoi nights as he poured in 42
points to lead Louisiana State to
a 79-76 victory over Georgia.
Calvin Murphy of Niagara,
another brilliant sophomore
rating headlines, was held to a
season low of 24 points as a
Villanova zone defense whipped
the Purple Eagles 74-57. Murphy
dipped below the 40-point
average for the first time this
season as a result of Villanova’s
double and triple teaming.
Bob Whitmore’s 25 points led
Notre Dame to a 72-63 decision
over Creighton; defending Big
Eight Conference champ Kan-
sas edged Iowa State 68-67 on
Bruce Sloan’s free throw with
no time left on the clock;
It is Sam Williams scored 28
points in a 71-65 triumph over
Loyola of Chicago, and Gene
Jones deposited 30 points that
helped Missouri romp to an 86-
66 verdict over Colorado.
Astro Star Wynn
Switched To Left
HOUSTON (UPI)-The Hous-
ton Astros, who will have much
more room to move up than
down In the National League
standings next season, definitely
plan to try heavy-hitting Jim
Wynn in left Held instead of
center.

firm statements issued by
Manager Grady Hatton in an

composed to promote season

Again
Knicks (licking
Behind Holzman
By United Press International
The New York Knicks hope
the other shoe never falls now
that Red Holzman is clicking
with a winning combination.
When Holzman succeeded
Dick McGuire as Knickerbocker
coach and New York began to
win, everybody wondered at
what stage the new mentor’s
luck would fall into the usual
pattern of disaster.
The Knicks won once, twice,
three times. Would it end now?
The answer Monday night was
no. New York won its fourth
straight under Holzman by
beating the Sonics in Seattle
119-113 on some aggressive play
by big Walt Bellamy, who
dragged down 19 rebounds and
scored 27 points in the night’s
only league action.
A hill five - game slate in the
Oklahoma Collegiate Confer-
ence and a "bedlam series” en-
counter matching Oklahoma
State at Oklahoma are on tap
tonight for the state’s college
basketball clubs.
The other two major college
teams are idle until Saturday,
when Tulsa hosts North Texas,
Oklahoma City visits Creighton
and Oklahoma State invades
Colorado. Oklahoma City was
in action Monday night, and
snapped a two-game losing
streak by edging San Francisco
72-71.
Northeastern, unbeaten after
10 games this season and 4-0 in
the league, plays defending
champion Oklahoma Baptist at
Shawnee in tonight’s feature
scrap in the Oklahoma Collegi-
ate Conference. The Bison are
off to a slow start this season,
standing 3-2, and need a win to
stay in contention.
Other conference games
match Langston (4-1) at Cen-
tral, (3-2), East Central (1 - 3)
at Southeastern (0-4), North-
western (3-1) at Panhandle (2-
2) and Phillips (1-4) at South-
western (1-3). _
Oklahoma State will be seek-
ing its first Big Eight Confer-
ence victory of the season to-
night at Norman, and Oklaho-
ma will be trying to regain a
share of first place. The Soon-
ers stand 1-0, and the Cowboys
0-1, in league play. Oklahoma
State has a better season mark,
however, 7-6 to 5-7.
Oklahoma City University,
which tumbled from eighth
place nationally to a 19th place
tie after draping two straight on
its Western tour, finally return-
ed to its winning ways Monday
night by making use of a late
rally.
The Chiefs, now 9-2, trailed
nearly all the way before catch-
ing up at 60-60 with 7:05 left on
el Workman’s field goal. San
Francisco was ahead again 71-
70 near the end, on Dennis
Black’s two free throws, but
Workman hit another jumper
with 44 seconds remaining for
the final margin.
Elsewhere Monday night,
Oklahoma Christian pounded
Southwest Baptist of Missouri
91-61 to run its season record to
13-2, and Northern nipped Ok-
mulgee Tech 49-46.
Pipers On Brink

Division lead in the American
Basketball Association.
Their most recent skein
stopped at 15, two short of the

"One of our spring exper-
iments will be to move Ron
Davis to center and Wynn to
left,” Hatton said, adding that It
Is his feeling that "Wynn will be
able to comcentrate more on his
hitting with this shift plus the
fact that Davis showed remark-
able defensive abilities last
year.”
Wynn stayed In contention for
the league’s home run and runs
batted in titles up to the fag end
ot the season. Teamed with
Rusty Staub, who contended for
the batting crown against
Orlando Cepeda until the final
weeks when he slipped to .333,
they form a potent pair.
"Staub, who can become one
of the great hitters In baseball,
is a fixture in right Weld,”
Hatton said. "Ivan Murrell, up
from a fine season at Oklahoma
City, may break into the
starting lineup or will be used
as a reserve outfielder with
Aaron Pointer and Norm
Miller.”
Hatton warned that “it’s
always easy to become optimis-
tic during the off-season,” but
said he sincerely felt more
confident "than I have of any
team since I took over the
managerial reins in 1966.”
Hatton, whose team finished
ninth last season, said the club’s
biggest problems then was
"inconsistent pitching and weak
defensive play, particularly In
key situations.”
He said he believed the club
has made moves to correct
this.
“Our pitching could be the

best In baseball," he said.
"Mike Cueller, Denny Lemast-
er, Larry Dierker, Don Wilson,
Wade Blasingame and Dave
Giusti are all proven wimiers as
starting pitchers.
"If each would equal his best
previous record It would mean
86 victories for us. Cuellar and
Wilson gave us a good game
almost every time the took the
mound last season and there is
no reason they shouldn’t get
better.”
Dierker missed most of last
season due to Army service.
Hatton said Blasingame and
Giusli would battle for the fifth
starting slot and that Giusti
might wind up as the keystone
ot the bullpen, “which was one
ot our big failures last year.”
Hatton indicated the catcher’s
slot was wide open, but was
high in his hopes of 23-year-old
Hal King, up from Asheville,
among the five he will take to
spring camp. Veterans John
Bateman and Ron Brand, whose
versatility at second and third
base and left field make him a
prime prospect, will return.
Hatton said only shortstop
remained unset on the outfield
with Doug Rader at first, Joe
Morgan at second and Bob
Aspromonte at third.
He said Hector Torres and
newly-acquired Denis Menke
(from the Braves) would battle
for shortstop. Torres’ question
mark, Hatton said, was hit bat-
work.
"If our questionable positions
at short and catching develop
on the plus side,” Hatton said,
"we should have a well-
balanced ball club with a real
good shot at a first division
berth.
"Our starting lineup could
average just under 25 years of
age and getting off to a good
start will be Important to these
youngsters.”
